" Super drawing! I am very pleased to have something hand done, done for me and so individual. Quite unique today. Thank you."

Stephen Morton

I have wanted one of Harry's outstanding drawings since the first time I set eyes on one. I decided which vessel I'd like drawn and took the plunge. I have to say it couldn't have been easier, Harry was extremely professional and answered all my questions and queries quickly. The paperwork had useful information on along with clear contact information. The drawing arrived last week and I literally can't stop looking at it. The first time I saw it in person it took my breath away, the sheer talent that Harry has is mind-blowing. If you are unsure whether or not you want to commission Harry for a drawing I can happily say that it is one of the most stunning pieces of art I've ever seen. Thank you Harry for making things so easy and keeping me informed about updates and developments on the drawings often. I'm going to have to start looking for another ship for you to draw!"

"I ordered 2 drawings from Harry and they both came out very well. Queen Mary was very professionally and extremely detailed which was just perfect!"

"Harry is a very talented artist. I was positively surprised how well he was able to draw Sirius even there was only couple old photos available. Well done!!"

“I’ve just received my third – yes, third – drawing from the amazing Harry Cotterill. There is no better present for a cruise-loving friend or relative; the only downside is letting it go. As before, Harry’s attention to detail is unequalled and the eye is always drawn to something which was previously unnoticed in real life. An added bonus is Harry’s excellent customer relations and the opportunity to follow the progress of one’s own drawing via his Facebook feed. Nothing I say can really do justice to Harry’s work but if you are looking for a truly unique gift (even if for yourself) then do consider one of his drawings.”

I gave Harry a bit of a challenge, for him to draw the infamous Stockholm for me, and i really cannot criticise his drawing. It is quite superb. Unlike the modern era of cruise ships which tend to be photographed everywhere there are comparatively few broadside images of ships such as Stockholm and that makes a difficult drawing job infinitely more difficult. Harry achieved this to an extremely high standard of drawing, one that captures her yacht like lines in a way that makes it feel like Stockholm is coming to life. Harry is very talented, and I will be back for more one day.

Having bought one of Harry’s drawings (of QM2) for my own wall, I felt incredibly selfish keeping his talent to myself so I ordered another. My sister had recently treated me to a cruise on Fred. Olsen Cruise Line’s Balmoral and I thought a drawing of what is her favourite ship would be the perfect thank you present. She could not have been more delighted!

Having previously received my drawing by Harry of Cunard's Queen Mary 2, being so impressed at the quality and detail I just had to request a drawing of my favourite, the former Cunard ship, the legendary Queen Elizabeth 2. I am now even more impressed with his talent. His drawing of QE2 was so detailed and exact, it gave me goosebumps. Thank you Harry!

I received a fantastic drawing of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines' Boudicca as a birthday gift whilst actually on board the ship. The drawing was perfect to the ship itself, even had the Captain sign it too.​Roy Dugmore​Birmingham, United Kingdom

Could not fault it in any way. Brought back memories of my time aboard her. A job very well done.

​Ann CraigChelmsford, United Kingdom

It looks more impressive. It really is amazing and photos do NOT do it justice. ​It won't be going in the hallway it's going on the bedroom wall on it's own. Thanks again Harry you truly are amazing.

"​I received my drawing of Queen Mary 2 this morning and WOW.....what a masterpiece it is. I am so amazed at the fine detail it is stunning. I have just presented the drawing to my partner for his Birthday and he absolutely loves it, he could not stop looking at it. You have such a special talent Harry - thank you so very much."

"Just received my drawing of Splendour of the Seas and it is amazing. You really did a great job with this drawing. It is a real collection piece with all the details of the real version. Thanks and waiting for my Majesty of the Seas drawing."

Ronny CopZoersel, Belgium

"Well what can I say! After ordering and watching it steadily come to life, my drawing of my favourite ship - the wonderful P&O Cruises' Arcadia - has arrived. It is of excellent quality and detail and I couldn’t be more pleased. Not only clearly a talented artist, but Harry has been a pleasure to deal with and I wouldn’t have any hesitation recommending him to friends and family. Thanks again Harry!"

Alex PaylerKent, United Kingdom

"After ordering a drawing previously of Discovery, I was very confident ordering one of Magellan, but was still surprised at the quality and attention to detail that had been put into the drawing. Harry really does go the extra mile and its great to see!"

Ryan CharltonBirmingham, United Kingdom

"Last week I received my drawing of Quantum of the Seas, the first drawing I got from Harry was amazing and when I got the drawing I fell in love with it the first time I opened the package. I was that much amazed by the precision and detail that I instantly ordered an other drawing. This time I ordered Splendour of the Seas because I was chocked because she is leaving the fleet so soon. Thanks Harry."

Ronny CopZoersel, Belgium

"Hi Harry, got home today and couldn't wait to see the drawing. I was extremely impressed and elated to finally see it in person. It is extremely detailed and was truly done by a professional (yourself). I am happy to have it!"

Jonathan GardnerFlorida, United States

"I was excited ordering my drawing of Discovery, but was blown away by the quality and detail of my drawing. It is so great to know its hand drawn and unique yet accurate, very pleased!"

Ryan CharltonBirmingham, United Kingdom

"Here it is just opened the the drawing its fantastic! Very well done Harry. It certainly reminds me of my recent cruise on Funchal and even more of my cruise in 2005 to Australia still a great cruise despite the problems. Great memories."

David TemplarLondon, United Kingdom

"I received this fantastic drawing of Liberty of the Seas as a birthday present from my friends this year. As a keen cruise blogger I'd watched Harry draw Liberty for months via Twitter, little did I know it was destined for my house - I just need to find somewhere to hang it now! Excellent work Harry!"

Marcus AdamsLondon, United Kingdom

"I am really thrilled with my drawing of P&O Cruises 'Azura'. This drawing is of a high standard and is a great way of remembering two fantastic cruises on this ship."

Anthony MarshallSouthampton, United Kingdom

"​Thank you. The Westward drawing has made it safely across the pond and arrived on Long Island, New York today. The drawing is truly spectacular and you've done a fine job."

Glenn LappinUnited States

​"The SS Norway was the first ship I ever went on when my mother took me on a cruise. I will never forget her beauty and that led me to want to work in the cruise industry. After accomplishing that goal, I can now look at this beautiful drawing that Harry did and think back on all the memories."

James BrydUnited States

"﻿I could not be happier with my drawing of the beautiful Norwegian Wind. I have many great memories on board her and every time I see Harry`s beautiful framed drawing on my dining room wall it brings back a smile. Always amazed at his talent."

James BrydUnited States

"Having crossed paths with Harry Cotterill via the Ocean Liner Society, I was able to commission him to do a drawing of Silver Wind for me (which is the company I do most of my business with). I am delighted with the end product and service I have been provided with and this wonderful picture now has pride of place in my office. Thank you."

Francesca Barone,Burgess Hill, United Kingdom

"I received the Gustloff drawing and it looks great. I am hoping to find the time to frame and hang it. Once I get a suitable photo, I will send it to you. Thanks again!"

"What can I say your drawing is amazing! It's one thing seeing photos of your drawings but it's a totally different thing seeing your drawings for real. I was more than happy with my drawing of Queen Mary 2 which you drew.....it's amazing especially the detail, it's very well done . Keep up the great work!"

Richy ConacheyIreland

"Harry this is fantastic. The Pride of America has been my home for the past few years and as my first ship I've ever worked on it has a special place in my heart. Your talent is truly amazing."

James BrydUnited States

"Delighted with everything about the drawing. Its a good size the drawing, l did wonder if at the start it might be too big, but its perfect, l just need somewhere to put it."

Myles DevinScotland, United Kingdom
